Friends & Family
I had the privilage of spending time with some truly incredible girls in foster care through a mentoring program which I participated in for 6 years. In the spring of 2016, I joined the New York Foundling's Junior Board with the hope of supporting and bringing more resources to youth in foster care.
On Saturday, May 22nd, I will be participating in The New York Foundling’s Junior Board ‘A Mile in their Shoes’ Virtual Walk-a-thon. May is National Foster Care Month, a time to recognize that we each can play a role in enhancing the lives of children and teens in foster care.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the New York Foundling’s holistic suite of foster care programs - those that prevent child abuse and neglect, educational services and tutoring, access to therapists and coaches, the opportunity to attend an overnight summer camp in August, and other programs that have shown long-term success.
I ask you to consider making a contribution to The New York Foundling charity. I've seen first-hand how the generosity of others can make a big difference in a single life and no amount is too small to make a difference.
Thank you for your generosity!
